Detective Inspector Glen Farmer of the City Valley Crime Group said police were alarmed by the size of the seizure.

"With Schoolies starting on the weekend the arrest of two people and the removal a significant amount of dangerous drugs from circulation helps make for a safer community," Detective Inspector Farmer said.
